Top 10 Deadliest Gunslingers In The History Of The American Old West

[@ladyofamerica507]

My childhood goes back to the ‘50s. My great-grandmother lived to be 100 years old and was raised in Georgia. In one story, she was a young lady climbing a tree and caught her belt buckle on a branch. As she struggled to lose it, a handsome young man lifted her off the branch and said,” I get you down, darling.” His name was Frank James, the brother of the famous Jesse James. I understand from my grandparents that she was an exceptional beauty when she was young. That's quite a tale from the Wild West, as is any of them. Another interesting note about my great granny: she chewed snuff ( powdered tobacco) until the day she died. Every Thanksgiving, I sat on the seat next to her, looked 👀 down, and observed the coffee can she used as a spittoon. 😂

[@Jan-zb1pq]

Ya don't chew snuff. Tobacco is chewed. Snuff is dipped.

[@everettnicely1937]

I can tell you a lot about Frank James. The best that their ever was in a running gun fight. I have others.

[@barrytoddwilkerson7282]

​@@Jan-zb1pq real snuff was/is used intranasally, hence the name, Snuff... Named after the sound made when used.

Great video and really enjoyed it! . When I grew up in Midwest my parents used to take me and my brothers to see the old Western movies. Everyone wanted to be a cowboy and live in the wild West. When I lived in Arizona I visited Tombstone and saw the OK Corral. I now live in Texas where the Texas Rangers still exist. Their motto back in the days pf robbers and outlaws was "We always get our man". I visited Pecos, Texas once where there is a lot of history. Fort Worth Stockyards is a great Western place to visit. Lots of history there!

[@jumpingjacks5558]

Awesome video. These videos are so entertaining and educational. I am a huge fan of the old west and all of your videos are priceless. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@murrayjennex1377]

how does someone who has no evidence of actually killing anyone make a list of most deadliest gun slingers?

[@gerthie]

😳

[@1nickabaruch]

Awesome video. They never thought they would be in history. Crazy stuff. I remember curly Bill on the movie Tombstone.

[@danielwebster5748]

People that want to make a claims that Cassidy and Sundance were killed there perhaps it is interesting to note that only one person identified their bodies a friend who owed them their life. They had saved his life somehow and the pinkertons never believed that Cassidy and Sundance were dead. They went to Bolivia, heard the story, discounted it out of hand and kept them on the wanted posters.

[@JosephSupley]

Exactly. Another account placed their death in Mercedes, Uruguay several years after the events in Bolivia. Personally, I believe it's very possible they returned to the United States. Cassidy's sister Lula Parker Betenson claimed he visited family members in 1925. Anyway, no conclusive proof exists they perished in Bolivia.

[@patrickdunlop5751]

What about wild bill Hickock?

[@KorithStoneheart]

He's actually number one. I've seen other videos where he was considered the deadliest gunslinger of the wild West

[@bowntown1909]

Wild Bill Hickock was known for being able to quick draw 2 pistols at once. Sending a torrent of lead down range with his Walker 44 cap & ball pistols. Sadly he was shot from behind by the coward Jack McCall.

[@barryware7497]

Hickock, The Earps, Doc Holiday l Johnny Ringo, Tom Horn .

[@DavidRomero-y6s]

The presentation title is 10 Deadliest Gunslingers. Belle Starr was not a gunslinger. Criminal, yes.

[@JP1974-GRUNT]

Yea, list should be "10 most infamous wild west figures"

[@alanploetz7100]

Nor the Sundance Kid, apparently.

[@btetschner]

A+ video! LOVE IT! Another classic!

[@mda1218]

wonder whose pistol was heavier ?

[@HawklordLI]

What's with the tombstone at 6:33?

[@calvinmitchell6381]

This video poster is out in LA LA land. The video shows somebody else's tombstone with a death date of 1961 !

[@alana7153]

That tombstone for Mary Belle Starr didn't seem to fit the narrator story.

[@willeel3750]

Some of the photos didn't match either.

[@tonyhill234]

The word “gunslinger” is not a synonym for “criminal”. What about the lawmen who were as fast or faster?

[@andrewlabat9963]

Jesse James's mother obviously didn't know her own son, because unlike some of the others on the list, he was just a straight-up murderer who didn't care about who he killed..

[@Mojo702]

They were all really murderers

[@KorithStoneheart]

After the railroad company just seized his property he had a right to be pissed

[@andrewlabat9963]

@enigma9971 He murdered a bunch of people not related to the railroad event, so that's just an asinine thing to say..

[@RoyPendergist-nq5ix]

@@andrewlabat9963 she knew exactly what her sons were and what they did. After the union soldiers and railroad company did to their family. You have to put their actions in the context of the era. Was Jesse and Frank killers, yes they were. But at the time they thought they were justified to do it.

[@Jeffrey-ef5vc]

Joining the notorious quantrill raiders at16 I wouldn't try to get in the mind of Jesse james

[@jfnall48]

These videos would be much better if a) movie and TV excerpts were not used, and b) photos would be identified (people, dates, places). I note that even the photos often do not align with, or are not relevant to, the narration.

[@willeel3750]

And they said Belle Starr died in February but her gravestone said January. Many of the photos weren't the actual person being spoken about.

[@williamrobinson827]

@@willeel3750 Several of the pictures were of Wild Bill Hickok, while the narrator was talking about someone else.

[@garyandrews1486]

I’m not sure how anyone could include Curly Bill on this list he was not a gunfighter he was Ringo a back shooting coward who would piss his pants if forced into a gunfight!

[@Bushmaster73]

Top 10 killers… while saying some only killed a few when leaving off people that killed >10X as many.

[@LambeauLeeeper]

I can’t believe they left out Buster Scruggs. Smh

[@barryware7497]

Nituced tgat mist took place in the 1870s.. Definately a wild decade

[@REMYREALTY]

The old West tales I believe are over rated. Although there were incidents of lawlessness , I think it's over rated at best. It's just like any other country, that over exaggerates tales...from hermits elevating in India to invisible warriors in Greece , etc etc...i love western movies, and the ideology of sadhus and Greek mythology...and various other..

[@John-d8v4b]

Take me back to the times of no surveillance cameras. I bet all of them did much more than this.😊

[@pigdroppings]

Notice ... None of the guys in the old time photos are wearing Hollyweed cowboy hats.

[@jhmonthetube6339]

There were many thousand “gunslingers”, not to be confused with “gunfighters”. You are mixed up here.

[@skaraturbo]

Gunslingers mean criminal pistolman and no lawman since Wyett Earp was not in the list?

[@mandovapehater6988]

50 cents for admission. That's probably a weeks pay then.

[@stephennewton2223]

I had heard of Bass being a robber, but, not as a killer. Your listing him as one of the deadliest gunslingers makes no mention of him killing.

[@mikekmit6045]

Why does the tombstone of "Belle Starr" not agree with the narration? I'm not buying this cow flap.

[@danielwebster5748]

I hope that Wyatt Earp is not in this before I start watching it he was not a gunman as a matter of fact his record rested solely on the OK corral.

[@garydavis1845]

Wes was not a Confederate soldier.

What happened to doc holiday

[@franklyterrence4860]

You are talking about Curly Bill Brosius and you show Soapy Smith standing at a Bar in Skagway?

[@melvincahill5898]

Commentator needs to learn history. The tombstone for Belle star clearly said she died in 1961 not 1889. She would of been 10 year's old.

[@rogermckamey8299]

I do not think that headstone is fo Belle Starr...the birth year is wrong and the date of death is wrong as well. I think there were other errors in this video too.

[@robertdaly4074]

Melvin ..1961 lol. Belle was born in 1848 and died 1889.

[@williamrobinson827]

My great great great grandma had a threesome with Belle!!!

[@Joseki_Ko]

Its been proved that Butch and Sundance never shot it out in Bolivia

[@John-d8v4b]

I bet Miller read the story of ned Kelly. Thats where he got the idea of wearing a steel plate. If nobody knows about Ned Kelly he was an Australian bushman.the equivalent of an American outlaw .

[@AlexBarret-t6r]

The dates on Starr’s headstone don’t match the narrative

[@blackjack8142]

The headstone is not hers. I have seen her headstone and it shows it as from 1848 to 1889. The head stone you show says 1879 to 1962.

[@glalza]

Belle Star, who didn't use a gun, And the Sundance kid, who never shot anybody, On this guy's list of the top 10 deadliest "gun slingers". What a piece of garbage!

[@Tony-c9b]

I quit watching this video early on because of the protracted adverts that I couldn’t skip. Too bad. The subject matter looked promising.

[@KorithStoneheart]

Were the commercials as long as they are on regular TV yes or no?

[@williamrobinson827]

Apparently the ads were inserted by youtube, not the presenter. I have the "premium" version, and there wasn't a single ad.

[@Tony-c9b]

@@williamrobinson827 Understood. Many thanks.

[@Tony-c9b]

@@KorithStoneheart I’ve never been in the position of needing to explain exactly how long a commercial is before it becomes annoying. Occasionally the commercial can be more entertaining than the subject broadcast itself. In this case the commercials were not. Clear?

[@michaelcschmitt]

The adds are worse than TV now

[@davidjudge2913]

Seems to have forgotten that Billy the Kid was a psychopath and as dumb as a rock.

[@KorithStoneheart]

Billy the kid finished high school and had a diploma. Oops.

[@janehanlon2802]

Guess you knew him 🤪🤪🤪

[@eac1235]

Wrong.

[@slimbrady6691]

Billy wasn't a psychopath nor was he dumb. Pat Garrett said Billy displayed desperate courage and devotion to his allies. Those are not the traits of a psychopath. Psychopaths only care about themselves. As for your claim of him being dumb, Billy was said to have been an avid reader and spoke multiple different languages. We know he was definitely bilingual, speaking English and Spanish fluently. But there's also good evidence that he was possibly trilingual, his 3rd language being Gaelic. So not only was Billy not dumb, he was actually exceptionally bright.

[@seminolesuperfan5756]

Yeah I got confused by the title of video compared to the contents, there were real gunfighters in the old west a couple of Texas rangers had more gunfights than your list.

[@MichaelDeanBagron]

also Soapy Smith had his gang during thee Klondike Gold Rush

[@calvinmitchell6381]

I'm sorry, but this video has many errors. Almost every picture posted was fake.

[@2011Matz]

Gunslinger is a term invented by Hoolywood script writers.

[@pbajst]

Um...at 6:34, the video states Belle Star died on February 3, 1889. At 6:34, the tombstone bearing her name indicates she died Jan. 10, 1961. What gives?

[@charlesrhoads641]

If there is no evidence that Sundance killed anyone, why is he included in the "deadliest"?

[@nielsjurgensen9493]

The Wild West was that so wild. Most "cowboys" never were in a gunfight or even witnessed one ...

[@LyleSmith-q3e]
